Ingredients

  • 150 gr  rice for risotto arborio or carnaroli
  • 1 onion
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 70 ml white wine
  • 500 ml vegetable broth
  • 40 gr butter
  • 3 tbsp mascarpone
  • 3-4 handfuls of spinach

Instructions

  • Fry the onions in olive oil (about 2-3 tablespoons), and add compressed garlic. When the onion is ready, add the rice and roast it for about 2-4 minutes. The rice will be ready when the oil surrounding it shines, and the grains will turn whiter.
  • Then add the wine. As the wine grows into the rice, we start to add the broth. I add one tablespoon of vegetable broth to the spinach as the spinach flushes the juice and gets into the rice. We start adding the broth (my broth is a half spoonful portion)
  • As soon as the broth is in the rice, add the butter and stir. I always put the risotto aside, covered for about 10 minutes.
  • After 10 minutes, add the mascarpone cheese and mix.
  • I serve this risotto as one dish.
